People in London and to the north of the city are being told not to be alarmed if they see military personnel and vehicles in the area over the next five days.
The Canadian Army Reserve will be conducting natural disaster training exercises in London, Lucan, and Huron County from Thursday to Monday. More than 300 army reservists will be taking part in a simulated wildfire emergency.
Residents can expect to see reservist and military vehicles at the Lucan Community Memorial Centre in Lucan, the South Huron Recreation Centre in Exeter, in London, the Lucan Conservation Area, the Crediton Conservation Area, and in Huron Park.
"This important training is conducted annually to practice the planning and execution of domestic support operations, which take place after receiving a request for assistance from civil authorities during crises in Canadian communities like natural disasters," the Canadian Army Reserve said in a statement.
Reservists taking part will undergo a variety of training tasks and objectives, including the establishment of command posts and theoretical and practical wildfire training.
No weapons will be used during this training exercise and area residents are encouraged to interact with army personnel in their communities. However, the public is asked to use caution when approaching military vehicles being used in the training.
